[niloc16]

not really, it definitely has spark up though since being in the tank, but i wouldnt call it a fast grower.

[niloc16]

here is an ultraman monti, i love this piece. i wish the blue base would show a bit more because the contrast is killer

Yup, its from you! It grows so nicely too!

[Snappy]

Yup, its from you! It grows so nicely too!
Actually now that I look at it I think it might be the "orange grove" acro. If it is it turns a gorgeous green with orange branch tips. It looks good.

Either way, if it changes further or not, its a pretty little frag. I'm very happy with it. I can't wait to move it though so it can get some flow on its other side. :D

P.S. Oh, and beautiful coral, Greg :)

[Snappy]

thanks everybody, it is starting to come along. I saw pictures of the mother at its peak and this piece still has quite a ways to go yet

[niloc16]

[Snappy]

Colin they look really nice corals but maybe you can try using less saturation and/or a higher light exposure. It's hard to tell what they really look like, almost like they are painted.:wink: Or is that you wrapped them in velvet?:razz: Anyway you have some awesome stuff and these look to be no exception.

[aussiefishy]

one of my favorites.

http://members.shaw.ca/aussiefishy/favorite.jpg

[niloc16]

thanks greg but my camera has extremely limited options. i can adjust exposure but i have been lowering the exposure, maybe i should try and increase. the camera nevers seems to catch blues or purples. sorry they look like that

[Snappy]

Colin you have nothing to apologize for. They are obviously beautiful corals. Trust me I know how hard it is to get the true colours to come out in a photograph. I definately have limited ability and camera options.:wink: But I'll give it a try.
How about this? I photo-shopped a lot of the saturation out. Not as bright but shows a little more detail and to me looks more realistic. I am sure the coral is actually brighter than this in person.
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h210/Trainer02/100_264011.jpg

[michika]

aussiefishy,

That is very nice. Is it all purple?

[Snappy]

Here's a bird's eye view of this good old birdsnest. It had browned out completely but is bouncing back, soon it will show hues of pink again. But in the meantime there's just something about the contrast with those polyps that I like.

Wow. Amazing, both of them. That monti is gorgeous.

[Chaloupa]

Colin those are gorgeous!

[Jason McK]

It's hard to complain about better corals going to bigger markets after looking through this thread. WOW everyone. Simply amazing. You should all be very proud of your incredible talents in both Photography and coral care.

[niloc16]

jason i couldnt have said it better, i just glanced thru the whole threead again just at pics and i dont think people in canada should complain about quality and color that is available to us. there is tons of jaw dropping pieces that you guys have. i second jason saying awesome job guys. hands down this thread is my all time fav

How do you ID your corals?

[niloc16]

niice piece honkey sauce. i was just telling superfudge today that we should have a good fashion 'snipping' party. that would be the most fun frag swap. instead of people prepping frags just go to everyones house with your snips and bag your own. :biggrin:

Hadn't planned on it but...... I might be able to do a very small piece of that Montipora capitata & maybe I can do one of the tri-colour too but....I actually have a waiting list for those so best to just shoot me a pm and we'll talk.

[Chowder]

One of my more favorite pieces right now.
http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/jkhchris/IMG_1444.jpg

[Delphinus]

Neat photo. Have you any close up shots of the zoos or palys to the bottom right? And what is it that I see just up and to the left of the zoos (between the zoos and the stag, a smallish patch of porites maybe? The neat thing is that they look blue.)

[Chowder]

They were from a shipment of zoas from Africa I got from OA and the blue thing is a red with blue dot mushroom.
http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t4/jkhchris/IMG_1449.jpg

[Snappy]

I had a small wild colony of this early last year and when it RTN'd last summer I was only able to frag one little 1/4 inch nub that I have been nursing. It is finally starting to take off so I have high hopes for it. Not exactly sure what colour it will get to be but I am confident it is a Acropora batunai. It isn't very common, has very thin, delicate branches & it is my favorite today for sentimental reasons.
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h210/Trainer02/Abatunai.jpg

[Delphinus]

Very exquisite lavender highlights on that one. Very nice.

[Chowder]

Very nice piece. It will be interesting to see what it will look like when it fully colors up.

Here is a frag of the frag that I got in that Oct 2005 Ultimate frag Calgary group order fiasco (anybody remember that one?) It eventually started to rtn so I fragged a crumb and it has now come to life 2 years later. So far it's a funky green/pink combo.

More stunning corals, Greg! I'm wondering when you're going to run out of new corals to show us :D

The wild Australian Monti...is it green or yellow, with purple polyps? Looks pretty cool. Subtle but very pretty.

[Jason McK]

Hey Marc I thought the first one was commonly called a Bubblegum?
or maybe I'm not seeing the colour right. (I'm on my crappy laptop)

J

[SuperFudge]

Looks similar Jason, but no, not the same piece.

Heres my bubble gum,

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j272/marc_aka_fudge/coralshots067.jpg



The hulk is down low, and hasnt acheived its full color yet...but the purple and green actually start to really "run together" like a hybrid coral on the hulk.

If you look at the most central branch on the hulk pic, on the axial coralite you can see the begginnings of this happening.

Marc.

[Jason McK]

Oh ya sweet.
I dont know then what I have but it's kinda inbetween both of them.

OK sorry back to pictures.

hi Marie ,very beautiful -what is the name of this coral that was ounce brown

Somebody else may be able to chime in here, my knowledge of coral taxonomy is nonexistant.

The best I can tell you is "acropora species" :lol:

It looks like Acropora granulosa in my opinion.

Acropora granulosa seems right if the google image search is accurate.

[Delphinus]

Wow sweet efflo!

[Snappy]

Here's an acro that you don't see everyday. I think it is A.divaricata & has some potential. Check out the growth form of the coralites:smile:

[Doug]

Greg, those blues of yours are pretty well knock yer socks off also. :D I still dont know which I admire more, the corals or all the superb pics you guys take.

[Reefer Rob]

Marc, is that the Pocillopora that was at Hidden Reef a month or so ago? If so you may notice a small piece was missing from it. I... uh... wouldn't know anything about that.

Looks like Colin had an ace up his sleeve. Very nice!

[niloc16]

thanks sebae but i dont know if i would call it an ace. althought its one of my favs, i thinks its an enchinata. i lost half of it during my notorious dino attack. this is one coral that was a MAJOR slow grower but after the blackout this bugger has rocked. i have seriously thought about doing a blackout every couple months because after that week blackout the corals are going insane with growth

Good Lord where do you people even find this stuff. When I go to the stores and look for SPS, there's never this kind of level of stuff available.

[niloc16]

when i get them they dont start like this. most of the time they are bleaching or brown, i spend about half an hour staring down from the top at the piece and guessing ' will this be worth it'.

[niloc16]

Well, yeah, that's true. But, I just gotta say .... It just feels like it's barely been a month since you were saying you had no colours in your tank and I was trying to encourage you to wait it out. I'm not going to believe you anymore if you ever complain about your tank!!!! :p

Dang, I need some encouragement then! :p :p :p 'Cuz THIS is what *I* got:

Colin you were right your corals are so drab and borring.:lol:
Apparently turning your lights out for the week did wonders.

[niloc16]

funny you say that chris because i was just telling marc the other day i am SERIOUSLY thinking of doing a blackout every couple months. man the growth spurt afterwards was huge. maybe i'm onto something. if its true and you guys try it and it works i take 50% of all frag sales :lol: :biggrin: :lol: :biggrin: :lol:

[christyf5]

I see them, makes me think you should be posting a FTS :wink:

I see them on my work computer (shhhh don't tell anyone though!) and at my additional home comuputers...hmmm maybe this is the boss messin around so you CAN'T veiw Canreef at work!:lol:

It's something to do with cookies. I was signed into "canreef.com" not "www.canreef.com". I loged out, and logged back in (but into "www.canreef.com" not "canreef.com") and now the pictures show up OK.
